Ice fishing must haves

[Hilgy]

So this will be my first year fishing the hard water and to be honest the first time I have done any real fresh water fishing in general.

I built a 6x8 ice hut this summer that should fit 4 adults nicely but other than the rods i bought the other day I have no idea what kind of tackle and other stuff a guy should have to make for an enjoyable time on the lake.

I built the floor to allow for a 3x3 hole to be cut in the ice with my chainsaw and then I can put a piece back in the floor to make 4- 8" holes when the kids are out.


I have a small woodstove to keep things warm but other than that I'm lost.

My plan is put the shack out at gull and leave it there for the winter. I'm not so concerned with catching huge fish just want to get the kids and wife out and have fun.


So other than the rods what should my tackle box gear consist of.



Thanks
